For more than two decades as a solo artist and Grammy-winning producer, Joe Henry has worked with some of the most celebrated names in music, including Ornette Coleman, Elvis Costello, Allen Toussaint, T-Bone Burnett, Don Byron, Solomon Burke, Brad Mehldau, Madonna, and Ani DiFranco. Blood From Stars is the dynamic, sprawling new album and in addition to all the desperate beauty and hypnotic vamping, the lush arrangements and seductive songlines: you get the sudden and thrilling illumination of places you’ve never been, but are somehow intimately familiar.
“Ultimately, Blood from Stars is the most sophisticated, redemptive, and romantic album Henry’s cut; the love songs are simply raggedly breathtaking. It reflects an America that wasn’t so much lost as consciously wiped away near the end of the 20th century.” All Music Guide
